Fee Fi Fo Fin

A few weeks ago, a friend and I played a game of Microscope. I wanted to use the game to create a faction for Delta Green, a little experiment to see if the formula could week. My friend had never played the game before, but his intuition made up for inexperience, and it wasn't long before we got rolling with a fairly compelling concept for a faction.  I decided I'd take what we started there and extrapolate from it, and make a quick writeup of the faction. So without further delay here's the product of the exercise: THE ROPES OF HEAVEN A mythos cult for Delta Green by Fee Fi Fo Fin and Panama.  History The Ropes of Heaven are a Central American cult of Ixtab, a niche Mayan Goddess of suicide by hanging. The cult remained small in size for many decades, perhaps in centuries, among remote Mayan communities, but when Central and South American drug cartels began using civilian slave labour in the production of Cocaine, the cult became attached to a much more ambitious project...

 I ran a Microscope game on A Night at the Opera a few weeks ago and these are the results. We (including myself) are fairly new to the system, so this was as much a game as it was a tutorial for myself and my players. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.  Towards the end we started doing things play-by-post which turned out to be a mistake because people would sit on their hands for entire weeks and not take their turns, something I feared would be an issue. It was cool for a while, if I do it that way I'll probably just install a time limit, take your turn within a day of being notified or be skipped like a chump. It's unfinished, and this was also our first major game of Microscope, so this probably is poorly done. Anyways, here's your history: THE AGE OF MIRACLES Theme: "The Discovery of Magic Leads to Major Theological Upheaval" Palette: YES NO Magic has side effects Divinity is unknowable and ambigious Magic is not a science, is jazz (is not reproduc...
